Learning Query Reformulations for Personalized Web Search Using a Probabilistic Inference Network

2007

The continuous development of the Internet has resulted in an exponential increase in the amount of available pages and made it into one of the prime sources of information A popular way to access this information is by submitting queries to a search engine which retrieves a set of documents. However, most search engines do not consider the specific information needs of the user and retrieve the same results for everyone, potentially resulting in poor results due to the inherent ambiguity in keyword-based search queries. One way to address this is by creating a personalized profile that incorporates the search preferences of the specific user. We present an intelligent system that is capable of learning such a search profile given a set of queries. The search profile is represented with a probabilistic network that incorporates semantic information about the user’s use of keywords in the queries. This profile is then used to automatically modify the original queries created by a spe...

Personalized search based on user search histories

… Proceedings. The 2005 IEEE/WIC/ACM …, 2005

User profiles, descriptions of user interests, can be used by search engines to provide personalized search results. Many approaches to creating user profiles collect user information through proxy servers (to capture browsing histories) or desktop bots (to capture activities on a personal ...

Personalizing Search Based on user Search Histories

In improving the quality of various search services on the Internet, Individualized web search (IWS) has demonstrated its effectiveness. User preferences are modelled as hierarchical user profiles in IWS applications. We propose a IWS framework called UPS that can adaptively generalize profiles by queries. Our runtime generalization evaluates the utility of personalization and the privacy risk of exposing the generalized profile. We present two greedy algorithms, namely GreedyDP and GreedyIL, for runtime generalization. For deciding whether personalizing a query is beneficial, we also provide an online prediction mechanism. The experimental results also reveal that GreedyIL significantly outperforms GreedyDP in terms of efficiency.

Personalization of the Web Search

Web search engines help users find useful information on the WWW. However, when the same query is submitted by different users, typical search engines return the same result regardless of who submitted the query. Generally, each user has different information needs for his/her query. Therefore, the search results should be adapted to users with different information needs. So, there is need of several approaches to adapting search results according to each user’s need for relevant information without any user effort. Such search systems that adapt to each user’s preferences can be achieved by constructing user profiles based on modified collaborative filtering with detailed analysis of user’s browsing history

Provision of Relevant Results on web search Based on Browsing History

Journal of Telematics and Informatics, 2014

Different users submit a query to a web search engine with different needs. The general type of search engines follows the "one size fits all" model which is not flexible to individual users resulting in too many answers for the query. In order to overcome this drawback, in this paper, we propose a framework for personalized web search which considers individual's interest introducing intelligence into the traditional web search and producing only relevant pages of user interest. This proposed method is simple and efficient which ensures quality suggestions as well as promises for effective and relevant information retrieval. The framework for personalized web search engine is based on user past browsing history. This context is then used to make the web search more personalized. The results are encouraging.

APPROACHES TO PERSONALISED WEB SEARCH TO IMPROVE RETRIEVAL QUALITY

As resources on the World Wide Web (WWW) are growing rapidly, search engines have become an essential tool for people to find what they need on the Web. Millions of users' queries are processed every day, but current Web search engines still have many disadvantages. Search engines serve all users in the same way, regardless of who submits the query, even though each user will have different information needs, associated with each query they submit. For that reason, search results should be adapted to users with different information needs. To solve this problem, a personalised web search is proposed that looks closely at each individual user to predict their intentions. This review focuses on two major tasks in developing a personalised Web search engine: user profile modelling and personalised query expansion, both of which can help to improve information retrieval quality. A user profile aims to find the best user model to help a system to predict user intentions or interests while searching the Web, without any additional activity from the user, such as explicit feedback. Personalised query expansion is widely used to decrease query ambiguity in information retrieval, expanding the user's query by, for instance, adding extra terms with statistical relations to a set of relevant documents or by adding terms with a similar meaning.

Personalized Search on the World Wide Web

2007

With the exponential growth of the available information on the World Wide Web, a traditional search engine, even if based on sophisticated document indexing algorithms, has difficulty meeting efficiency and effectiveness performance demanded by users searching for relevant information. Users surfing the Web in search of resources to satisfy their information needs have less and less time and patience to formulate queries, wait for the results and sift through them. Consequently, it is vital in many applications -for example in an e-commerce Web site or in a scientific one -for the search system to find the right information very quickly. Personalized Web environments that build models of short-term and long-term user needs based on user actions, browsed documents or past queries are playing an increasingly crucial role: they form a winning combination, able to satisfy the user better than unpersonalized search engines based on traditional Information Retrieval (IR) techniques. Several important user personalization approaches and techniques developed for the Web search domain are illustrated in this chapter, along with examples of real systems currently being used on the Internet.

A Novel Approach to Personalize Web Search through User Profiling and Query Reformulation

with a inundating of information in WWW (World Wide Web) users are often failed to retrieve search result in context of their interest through existing search engines. So the personalization of web search result has to be carryout that process user’s query and re-rank retrieved results based on their interest. User have diverse background on same query, it is very difficult for some informative query to identify user’s current intention. In this paper, a novel approach is proposed that personalize web search result through query reformulation and user profiling.First,a framework is proposed that identify relevant search term for particular user from previous search history by analysing web log file maintained in the server. These terms are appended to user’s ambiguous query. Second, the proposed approach proceeds the user’s search result and re-rank the retrieved result by identifying interest value of user on retrieved links. Proposed new approach also identify user interest on retrieved links by combing the user interest value generated from VSM (Vector Space Model) and actual rank of that link. Third, the framework also suggest some keywords that help to incorporate user’s current interest. Finally, experimental result shows the effectiveness of proposed search engine with commercial search engine with different criteria.

Personalize Web Search Using User FeedbackSessions

International Journal of Innovative Research in Computer and Communication Engineering, 2014

In a web based application; different users may have dissimilar search goals when they submit it to a search engine. For a broad-topic and vague query it is difficult. Here we suggest a novel approach to infer user search goals by examining search engine inquiry logs. This is typically exposed in cases such as these: Dissimilar users have different upbringings and interests. However, real personalization cannot be attained without accurate user profiles. We propose aoutline that enables large-scale assessment of personalized search. The goalmouth of personalized IR (information retrieval) is to reappearance search results that better match the user intent. First, we propose aoutline to discover different user hunt goals for a query by clustering the future feedback sessions. Feedback sessions are getting built from user click-through woods and can efficiently reflect the info needs of users. Second, we propose an approach to make pseudo-documents to better signify the feedback meeti...

Uncovering User’s Search Patterns to Personalise Web Search

2018

In today’s world, search engines have become a very convenient method of searching and retrieving information. But this increasing use of search engines goes hand in hand with the everincreasing data available on the internet. With such large number of websites available, it is essential to have these websites sorted in decreasing order of their relevance to the user’s query for effective operation and retrieval of data. This paper explores various domains related to Computer Science and proposes a framework that seems the best fix to this problem. We have proposed a new system to provide personalized web search according to the user’s internet surfing patterns. The system extracts the user’s history and scrapes the web pages’ content (title, keywords, headings, sub-headings, meta tags). These documents are then clustered using Word2Vec model and Latent Semantic Indexing to give better results. User’s search query is mapped to the profile and an appropriate cluster is selected.
